  • Older Tahoe cleaned up

    Finished up this older Tahoe for a buddy of mine with an Escalade I take care of on a regular basis. Just wanted a quick one step and wax. I took it a little further for him because he comes to me all the time and he's my buddy of course.

    Anyways... He wanted it cleaned up to get the paint looking better and not so dull and ridded with swirls. The passenger side had been repainted (very poorly I might add) and had a haze on those panels along with deep sanding marks (which you can see in some pics) but those weren't to be corrected on this "beater" this go around.

    ONR wash with 4 MF's
    Clayed w/Meguiars clay
    Wheels/Tires/Wheel wells cleaned with APC+ and various brushes
    Trim/Tires dressed with ShowRoomFX White pearl
    Glass treated with Stoners Invisibile Glass
    Corrected with Meguiars DA MF D300
    Topped with Meguiars DA MF D301


    Hood before. Paint was engulfed in deep swirling. (most of the truck looked this way)

    After correcting with D300

    Passenger fender. Strong haze and deeeeep swirling coupled with a poor paint job.

    My buddy didn't want me to touch the passenger side but I couldn't let it go. I gave it two passes with D300.

    Hood in sunlight.

    Driver side rear quarter uncorrected:

    Corrected


    Haze on the passenger side door. If you look where my gloves are, you can seee the deep sanding marks.

    Notice the clarity in the picture as apposed to the one above. Big difference, not perfect...but much better. (again he didn't want me to touch this side so I did it as a favor)


    Trim had not been done in this picture yet. Still had to dress the top of the rubber on the door up top and was still using it to stand on.

    Really nice turn around.
    I can't wait to try the D300/D301 combo that I ordered from ADS.

      Quality work. I'm sure he was surprized with the improvement on the passenger side.

        looks great!

        I bet he was thrilled when he picked the truck up!

          Looks great.

          The early 90s 2 door Blazers and Tahoes are still some of my favorite vehicles.
